Way to Russia Philosophy, Values, and Goals

Way to Russia is an information resource about Russia and travel services directory founded by a group of friends in 2000 in Moscow.

We arrange the best deals with the most reliable companies and advertise their services on this site. Our managers constantly monitor the quality of these services, making sure our readers have the best experience using Way to Russia for arranging your journey to Russia (Read more about how the quality monitoring works).

How We Work and Our Values

• We aim to provide the most comprehensive, accurate, and valuable information about Russia available.

• We want promote transcultural interaction and to show Russia as an interesting and diverse place to travel and live in.

• We offer first-hand experience in this guide. We traveled around Russia ourselves, made Russian visa support letters for our friends, went out to find the best places to eat and to party, nearly got in a fight at a small town on an occasion, even married each other in Russia to see what it is like. After it is done, we simply record our experience and put it on this website.

• The companies that advertise their services on this site should provide excellent customer support and have fair prices. If a company is advertised on this website, this means that we are using their services ourselves and always recommend it to our friends.

• We believe in being friendly and helpful to our customers and visitors of this site not only because it is a good business practice, but also because we enjoy doing it ourselves.
